INDIANAPOLIS – Republicans are scrambling to hold onto Rep. Mark Souder's seat following the evangelical Christian's decision to resign over an extramarital affair with a staffer with whom he made a video touting the benefits of abstinence education.
Gov. Mitch Daniels has said he will call a special election this summer to determine who will serve the remainder of Souder's eighth term — just two weeks after he won a bruising primary in the Republican-leaning district.
Souder's revelation Tuesday of the affair follows the resignation of Democratic Rep. Eric Massa of New York in March amid an investigation into whether he sexually harassed male staffers and admissions of extramarital affairs by South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Nevada Sen. John Ensign — both Republicans who have held onto their offices.
The confession by Souder — an evangelical Christian who promoted abstinence education and was known for his outspoken views on religion — stunned some voters in his district.
